Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some people want password expiration for their regular users, but also have a "system" user account that is used for scripting, API calls, windmill automation/workflows -> this user account should not get its password expired.

Describe the solution you'd like
Option to exclude groups from password expiration policy (maybe also users, but groups would be more important, you could create groups with just one user)

Additional context
loosely related, but it is about sharing policies, not about password policies: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/47133
